Accliamed director David Cronenberg is attached to helm an adaptation of the Jonathan Lethem novel As She Climbed Across the Table.
According to our pals at Pajiba (visit ‘em), the movie will mark Cronenberg’s first sci-fi picture since 1999′seXistenZ.
In the story, narrator Phillip Engstrand is a university professor who has made a career out of studying academic environments. Engstrand is in love with Alice Coombs, a particle physicist engaged in a bold attempt to replicate the origins of the universe. The result of the experiment is Lack, a very selective black hole that sucks some things into its void–a cat, a pair of socks, a strawberry–and rejects others, namely, a love-struck Alice.
As Alice’s unrequited obsession with Lack grows, Phillip becomes so desperate to save his beloved from this empty rival that he risks a journey down the metaphysical rabbit hole.
The film will be in the vein of Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
